Puigdemont's appearance comes a day after the Amnesty Law was approved in Spain. The Amnesty Law is part of the deal struck by the Spanish prime minister's PSOE party to form a coalition government with the support of Catalan and Basque pro-independent parties following the elections in July 2023. The bill would grant amnesty to people facing legal issues for involvement in Catalonia's failed 2017 independence bid. EPA/OLIVIER MATTHYS
